Comments
: Top of the line, outstanding blade quality, highly recommended. This is the weapon of choice with local HEMA group rapier practice and what I personally use.
Free Testing
if you need it.
I'm a member of an Adria group and our combat manual requires rapier blades have a minimum of 4" deflection when tested with a 1 pound weight. We've categorized the Hanwei rapier blades onto 3 general groups; hard (3.5" deflection or less, very rare), too soft (over 4.5" deflection), and just right at 4". I personally feel that the blades are
all
safe, but technically I could be disqualified in competition for mine being hard, and a comrade at arms prefers his soft so he doesn't have to hold back when he thrusts. Anyway, if you have stringent requirements or a prersonal preference just let me know.
I'm an enthusiast and a weekend warrior, I only list what I own and can personally recommend.
This item guaranteed authentic, new in box and direct from manufacturer.
Please see this note from Sword Manufacturer Guide online;
...
it is especially important when buying Paul Chen Hanwei swords online to avoid shopping based on price alone, as many of the sellers who stock them at close to wholesale prices are selling seconds or defective items that should have been inspected and sent back to the factory as per Hanwei’s usual policy with their wholesalers.
